• Creatinine Increased

  More patients taking plazomicin experienced a serum creatinine clearance increase of at least 0.5 mg/dL during treatment (7% vs. 4%). All but two patients taking plazomicin experienced a full recovery by the last follow-up visit. [mdedge.com]

Everyone, regardless of treatment group, could also receive meropenem or tigecycline if deemed necessary. Treatment lasted 7-14 days. [mdedge.com]

Initial therapies consistent with MST could result in reduced in-hospital mortality, treatment failure rate, infection-related death, percentages of patients needing therapy adjustment, and daily hospitalization cost with increased successful treatment [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

But for patients with MDR infection, adjustment relying on MST gained more benefit than non-MDR infection.Appropriate initial therapy significantly improved the prognosis of patients with gram-negative bacterial infections, but improvement was not that [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

What Is the Prognosis for a Person Infected With NDM-1 Producing Bacteria? The prognosis (outcome) for a person infected with NDM-1 is related to the patient's overall condition at the time of diagnosis and appropriate treatment. [emedicinehealth.com]

Prognosis Uncomplicated cases of bacterial vaginosis (BV) typically resolve after the standard antibiotic treatment. Mortality/Morbidity The prognosis for uncomplicated cases of bacterial vaginosis is generally excellent. [emedicine.com]

Prognosis In most patients, the prognosis is excellent. With appropriate therapy, complete recovery is usually attained. Patient Education Patients should be instructed about proper hygiene, which is a primary preventive measure. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prognosis is frequently worse. Resistance to multiple antibiotic classes, including carbapenems, is growing and it compromises prophylaxis and treatment options. [link.springer.com]

Overview Practice Essentials Bacterial vaginosis (BV), or nonspecific vaginitis, was named because bacteria are the etiologic agents and an associated inflammatory response is lacking. [emedicine.com]
